Why is disobedience a crime of witchcraft?

Obedience is better than sacrifice, and obedience is better than the fat of rams. The sin of disobedience is equal to the sin of witchcraft, and the sin of stubbornness is equal to the sin of worshipping false gods and idols. "(Sam 15: 22, 23)

We have a basic relationship with God, that is, to obey God's command and will. When this relationship is broken, other relationships with God will also collapse, and we can never replace it with anything else, even the best meaning. Sacrifice is a good thing, but if we don't obey God's command, we won't do it according to God's will. Sacrifice is unacceptable. Similarly, it is unacceptable that many people do not listen to God, but want to work and contribute to God. God doesn't like this service. Obeying and obeying God is our greatest duty and responsibility.

But human nature is unwilling to obey God, but willing to do whatever you want. So it is easy to commit the crime of stubborn rebellion. When God's meaning is different from ours, it is easy to stick to his own meaning and feel that his meaning is right and good. In fact, even if they are proved to be wrong and sinful, some people still stubbornly do so, knowing that it is not in line with God's will.

As a result, like Saul, he was not only abandoned from the throne, but also came to a very tragic end. Therefore, the most important thing is not to stubbornly disobey God, not to listen to God's words, not to obey God's commands, but to do according to God's will. This is a great sin that can never be neglected.
